Chapter 678: Chapter 648: Little Chaos Realm
At this mont, the two seed to be within arm’s reach of each other, yet multiple layers of barriers and distortions lay between them. Even so, facing this enigmatic Anjie, Ivan didn’t dare lower his guard in the slightest.
“Mr. Ivan, the person you agreed to et is .”
“That can only an one thing: I am soone who knows when to adapt. Sotis, under certain circumstances, I have no choice but to say things that betray my true intentions.”
“I’ll rember you.”
Hearing this, Anjie’s expression didn’t reveal any particular emotion.
The next second, they were separated, and Ivan’s figure abruptly vanished before Anjie’s eyes.
Staring into the now-empty vista, Ivan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, utterly bewildered. Just who is this person? The pressure she exudes is simply overwhelming.
“She’s soone intent on eting , though I have no desire to see her.”
“Who?”
Before he could gather his thoughts, a sudden voice rang out, startling Ivan as he quickly surveyed his surroundings, only to realize he had entered another space entirely.
Beneath his feet stood a massive tree.
The tree extended down into an unseen abyss and upwards to an unreachable summit. All that was visible was a stretch of snow-white bark—exactly like the prophetic vision he had glimpsed in the Prophet’s Treasure To. The voice, then, could only belong to the World Tree—Qingmu Yuanmu.
Instinctively, Ivan glanced upward. In the vision, he had been climbing the tree step by step.
“Put away that thought. I dislike anyone crawling all over my body.”
“It’s not that I can read your mind; it’s that you’re standing on . Your current emotional fluctuations are so intense, it’s impossible not to discern your thoughts.”
The being clearly perceived his musings, and upon hearing this, Ivan hastily cald his inner turmoil.
He then respectfully bowed toward the void.
The scenery around him shifted once more. When he ca to his senses, he found himself in a wooden corridor. The corridor seed to be part of so palace, with white mist swirling everywhere around.
This place appeared connected to the pure white realm he had been in earlier. However, the power here was orderly, unaccompanied by the chaotic cycles of creation and destruction.
Not far ahead of him stood an elderly woman with white hair but a youthful face.
Ivan quickly offered another respectful bow.
“She went to great lengths to locate . What she doesn’t realize is this—if I don’t wish to see soone, no one can et . Never has there been an exception.”
The elderly woman waved her hand, and a gentle breeze brushed across Ivan’s body.
Instantly, the tension in Ivan’s body eased significantly. It was clear to him now that soone had interfered with him.
“Thank you, Lady Yuanmu.”
“You are a polite child. My old friend has always favored people like you.”
“May I dare to ask, Lady Yuanmu, is the old friend you speak of the Wisdom Elder?”
“There’s no need to doubt it. You are indeed my old friend Wisdom Elder’s inheritor of power, and a rather unique one in all these years. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used your life to coerce others.”
Emboldened by her kind deanor, Ivan ventured a cautious inquiry.
Hearing her confirmation, his heart was a mix of joy and dread. It seed Antoinette’s intel had been accurate, but how humiliating it was to think he had reached a point where his life could be used as leverage.
“As for her identity, you needn’t know too much. What’s important is that she, too, covets the power of wisdom, making her one of your future competitors for my old friend’s legacy.”
Before Ivan could respond, the elderly woman added a remark of her own.
Hearing this, Ivan froze.
The impostor Anjie had left him with a sense of peril far surpassing what even Antoinette induced. She was evidently a being whose strength exceeded the Sovereign level, potentially a Level 7 Supre or even an elusive Level 8 Primogenitor standing at the pinnacle of the world.
And such a terrifying figure turned out to also be his competitor!
At that mont, his confidence wavered.
“Hahaha, there’s no need to worry overmuch. She’s an exceedingly proud individual. With your current level of strength, she wouldn’t bother to target you. Her primary goal this ti was finding .”
The elderly woman, perceptive of his shifting expression, chuckled and offered words of comfort.
“Forgive for embarrassing myself, Lady Yuanmu.” Ivan silently pondered the identity of ‘Anjie,’ but his knowledge of the upper echelons of power within the Elf Plane was limited, leaving him none the wiser.
Whoever she was, and whether or not she deed him worth her attention, he was now on her radar. Staying within the Elf Plane was no longer an option.
As soon as he left here, he would need to make haste toward the Star Realm River.
“As my old friend’s successor, you must possess exceptional wisdom. Answer a simple question—will you?” the elderly woman suddenly proposed.
“Please, ask your question. Ivan will answer without reserve.” Realizing she was broaching an important topic, Ivan perked up and listened intently.
“Take a look out there,” the elderly woman said, gesturing beyond the corridor. The white mist outside dissipated, revealing a pristine, mirror-like lake.
At the sight, Ivan couldn’t help but swallow dryly.
This was no ordinary lake; it was clearly an expanse of infinite spatial collapse, containing an intensely terrifying Power of Space. If he were to fall in, he’d likely be instantly trapped within its void.
He also noticed nurous bubbles of varying sizes rising to the surface. Within the boundaries of these bubbles were miniature landscapes of mountains, rivers, and grasslands, as well as faint silhouettes of living creatures.
“Tell —how can a being born within one of these bubbles transcend the bounds of their realm?” the elderly woman asked without hesitation.
The question seed simple enough, but Ivan knew that giving a careless answer would leave him deeply ashad later on.
He chose to remain silent for the mont, aware that this must be a question laced with profound significance.
